There is a point where trying to SE taxi can be unsafe. Turning off essential systems to trick or by-pass the system is that point, for me.
I guess what I'm saying is that maybe we shouldn't be so gun-ho to be SE taxing in in every situation. You could cost the company more money than any amount of fuel you are trying to save.
(It's not a joke and I wish I could have found an image that didn't have "FAIL" on it. But, you get my point.)
But hey, I heard that this is a captains airline. So, you guys do what you want. I'll be rolling abound with two running in those situations where it's too heavy or too hot to SE taxi, even if it's close.

Nobody is asking you to taxi SE with a max gross airplane on asphalt in 100 degree weather. You are just being obstinate now with all this... So don't ever leave the chocks big boy because this same thing can happen with both of 'em running... sorry bro.. but your post is a FAIL.
Oh and as far as it being a "captain's airline" (whatever that means) answer this: which of the two former airlines' captains gives the choice of rest break to the pilot flying as opposed to himself? Which former airline had captains that did a bigger percentage of walkarounds? Shall I continue?
